In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of “word for the day”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Subbie Slip has her whip, handcuffs and legcuffs today. Tomorrow I’m bringing in chains, so beware.
The rest of the stuff is locked up in my drawer. I’m just letting all the new students know that we behave as if we were ladies and gentlemen in here. Those two words “as if” can get you an A if you make the subbie laugh.

Do I hear Hillary once? Do I hear Hillary twice? Do I hear Hillary a third time? What a mockery of the English language.
A++++ for you! Hope your mom made you find your own socks. I mean, who was wearing them?
Oh, A++++ for you, well, a double A++++ for you. Now don't be telling the rest of the class, okay?
A++++ for you!
You've become a mocking bird, and they don't sing. LOL!
It wasn't when I was a kid, but we had a dog who liked to sneak away with socks. He would stuff them into his mouth like a chipmunk, and then slowly amble innocently away.
Too slowly. His studied, slow-motion non-chalance gave him away every time.
How many A++++'s do you want, NnB?
You liked that did you? I have to admit I found it on another thread. I stole the link, but the thought was mine. Do I lose points for theft?
Just enough to bring my GPA above 2.0 ... about ten thousand ought to do it.
Are we there yet? I have to pee.
Like not arriving yet has stopped you before. Lower the window!
Now next time, make up your own sentence, though. You've been warned. Look at those handcuffs up there. It's mighty cold in the coat closet.
It will take a while, Sweets! LOL!
There's a pee jar in the back seat. Use it! We'll all be watching, though, and you won't be able to do it. Hehehehehehehe!
Oh no. that was my sentence. I just stole the link. I was awake enough to think up the sentence, although I had not had my coffee yet. Please no handcuffs. I bruise easily :-)
If you must get out of the car and pee in the poison ivy. That will give you a scratching.
Rudy makes a frickin mockery of conservatism by running as a Republican.
Hill's southern drawl is a mockery,
A new lie just for her talkery,
Next she'll shave graying locks,
Do just anything that shocks,
Just to keep her BS in its crockery.
